Hi all
This post is for anyone supporting @CR_UK on twitter - this can be anyone: community based committees; fundraising teams/individuals; campaigns ambassadors; staff or volunteers! Even if you're just considering supporting CR-UK, you're welcome to join in too :-)
After seeing the success of other twitter interest-based conversation hashtags, such as #thebreakfastclub (6:45am-8am weekdays) and #TTOT (Travel talk on twitter, Tuesdays 9pm), I thought it could be useful to set a day and time (prob Tues at 8:30pm) and try to get some conversation going around what people are doing to support CR-UK.
Probably the best way to run this is for me to tweet out a couple of questions (suggestions welcome!) each week eg:
Q1. What prompted you to support @CR_UK #hashtag
then people tweet a reply....
A1. blah blah blah #hashtag
this is how #TTOT operates and I think there's a different theme/host each week.
I can also look into using Storify so that the conversations aren't lost and we can refer back to them later.
So, firstly, what does everyone think of the idea - it's just half an hour and not everyone needs to take part every week! And secondly, we need to decide on a suitable #hashtag that sounds informal and not official - @CR_UK are happy with this idea and may join in occasionally but it will be very much a supporter 'thing'!
The ideas for the # (suggested by the lovely and creative @chessycr_uk) are:
#CRUKchitchat
#CRUKtalk
#CRUKconfab
#CRUKbuzz
#CRUKfriends
#CRUKcircle
#CRUKcrew
#CRUKhangout
and some suggestions from @CR_UK
#CRUKchatter
#CRUKnatter
they have asked us not to use #CRUKchat as it sounds more formal and perhaps official!
So, please feel free to comment on this post....which I know can be painful....or tweet/DM me with your thoughts :-)
thanks for reading and I look forward to your feedback :-)
